Need some quick advice, have an odd ISP setup, GoLD is on the way!!
Anyway, here is my setup. Gold has been ordered and will be here in 3 days and not sure how to setup my network. Soooo.......
Have Fiber optic modem, Ethernet connection goes from that modem into my ISP provided router. The router splits into 3 Ethernet connections(that i use for my IPTV and 2 PCs) and....... into a COAX (TV Cable) that is connected to my WIFI6 AP that is upstairs in the house. The WIFI6 AP is connected to a TV cable outlet.
Not sure where to "stick" the GOLD. :( Would love to run GOLD in router mode, but then what about my WIFI? Running new cables throughout the house is out of the question as everything is finished. HELP :)

If it is the one referred to here, you could put:
ONT > telus {bridge mode} > FWG {router mode} > Wi-Fi APs

you can see similar examples here https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/4411167832851-Firewalla-Router-Mode-Configuration-Guide-#h_01FN8AB4RNRTPTRCDEQV31Q7JR
when in bridge mode you can’t use the Wi-Fi. Even if the router lets you keep it on, Firewalla can’t protect things in front of it.

I think you can use a MOCA for the coax connection. I haven't used it myself, but I think you'll need to buy at least one transceiver at the FWG side; you may need another one at the AP end. If your AP already supports MOCA, you may not need it, but I'm really not sure.
Anyway, look into MOCA.

@Everlong, @David may be right about MoCA.MoCA adapters are used to convert coax to ethernet.
I can't find any of the manuals for your equipment but there are two obvious configurations and I am not familiar with your ISP.ONT > telus {bridge mode} > FWG {router mode} > Wi-Fi APs
In this case, you might be able to keep your coax asis since the coax goes from your router to the TVs. It is getting TV signal over the network.It is also possible that this configuration is right:
